Super User buzzed bait Posted June 13, 2014 Super User Posted June 13, 2014 Opinions needed from you guys on whether you think a Daiwa Tatula Casting Rod 7'2" Med Hvy is suited for tossing jigs (1/4oz to 1/2 oz)/texas rigged worms? It's a regular blank... Quote
Mr Swim Jig Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 It is the rod that I use for those techniques and it is amazing. Light sensitive and balances very well with my Tatula Type-R..... Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted June 13, 2014 Author Super User Posted June 13, 2014 It is the rod that I use for those techniques and it is amazing. Light sensitive and balances very well with my Tatula Type-R..... that made my morning! i'm pairing it up with my regular tatula 100HSL. i didn't want to go overboard on action or power since i rarely if ever toss big heavy jigs or big heavy c rigs or anything of the like Quote
bass1980 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I've always thought Daiwas terminology of "regular" action was very close to a "moderate" action rod. Yes or No? Quote
RippinLips4 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I've always thought Daiwas terminology of "regular" action was very close to a "moderate" action rod. Yes or No? Yes, regular normally used for moving baits. Quote
bass1980 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Regular action for Jigs? That's definitely not for me. I will stick to a fast action. Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted June 14, 2014 Super User Posted June 14, 2014 Deep cranking rod. Setting a single hook with a regular rod...be careful not to throw out your back. 1 Quote

It's a regular blank... Daiwa's regular means it is a moderate action cranking rod, not too good for jigs and worms. Quote
Mr Swim Jig Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I have not had any problems setting the hook fishing jigs with this rod. Just a quick little turn of the hips. Quote
bass1980 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 May work but doesn't mean it's the best option. Quote
Mr Swim Jig Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 May work but doesn't mean it's the best option. It is just my personal preference. So for some it may not be a good choice but for me it is perfect. I just don't like the F or XF action rods. I have tried them and just don't care for them. Quote
Attila Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Sorry to open up this thread again, just need some feedback on this particular rod which I just picked up. I plan on using it for deep diving cranks that run 15'+ and any other crankbaits that weigh in at more than 1/2oz like certain squarebill types, and I believe I'm okay in doing that. My main query is using the same rod for both spinnerbaits and chatterbaits which are greater than 1/2oz in weight; given that they are single hooked moving baits would I have any difficulty in setting the hook with this rod? I ask because I have problems with my back occasionally due to a sciatic nerve injury from years gone by. Thanks for any feedback you can provide. Quote

I use this rod for some bladed jigs, large topwaters, spinnerbaits and some sq bills. It is a mod fast action but it has a good deal of power. 3 Quote
